WHO WE ARE

 

Flying Pig Designs supports the development of complex hardware products where execution speed and technical rigor are critical. We partner with teams to move efficiently from concept through production, applying experienced engineering judgment at each stage. Our approach prioritizes focused, high-performing teams—reducing overhead while ensuring products are built to meet real-world performance and manufacturing demands.

FROM STRATEGY TO EXECUTION

FPD Strategy

Developing an FDA-regulated device demands more than engineering—it requires seasoned decision-making at every stage. FPD Medical brings more than a decade of experience across wearables, surgical devices, robotics, diagnostics, and catheter-based systems, guiding teams through technical risk and critical milestones from concept through commercialization.

When product decisions become critical, we provide senior-level technical guidance.  We combine deep engineering experience with a systems-level view of downstream impacts to help you make the right decisions.  Our focus is on preventing costly missteps before they happen—resulting in faster development, reduced risk, and stronger business outcomes.

Working with Flying Pig Designs provides:

  • Execution you can rely on at critical stages of development
  • Clear, consistent communication across all phases of the project
  • Structured, transparent project planning and cost control
  • Immediate access to a proven network of suppliers and technical specialists
  • Experienced engineering judgment where decisions carry real cost

80% of our business comes from repeat clients

EARLIER LAUNCHES START WITH SMARTER DESIGN PROCESSES

 

 

Time-to-market is not just speed—it’s disciplined execution. Our ISO-compliant processes are intentionally streamlined and flexible, allowing us to adapt to evolving requirements without sacrificing rigor.

We align closely with your objectives to ensure that each design decision reflects downstream impact—across performance, manufacturing, and regulatory pathways. The result is a development process that reduces rework, controls risk, and accelerates the path to commercialization.

Our Process

The folks at Flying Pig Designs are awesome and very capable.

ELEVATING BOLD IDEAS WITH PRECISION

Adaptability is essential in product development. FPD applies the principles of Lean Product Development to maintain efficiency while rapidly responding to changing project requirements.

We focus on minimizing waste and rework—supporting more predictable timelines and stronger financial outcomes. Our engineers are trained in Lean Production and Six Sigma, ensuring a smooth transition from development into manufacturing.

We can remain engaged through production, providing support directly or connecting you with the right manufacturing partners.

We are here to support you and your business as long as you need us.

 

Lean Product Development

We typically engage with teams developing complex, high-impact products where execution and decisions carry real cost.

How to Engage With Us

1 — Product Assessment
We assess your current development state, identify technical and regulatory gaps, and define the decisions that will determine cost, risk, and timeline.

2 — Program Definition
We develop a clear, execution-ready plan aligned with technical requirements, regulatory pathways, and commercialization objectives.

3 — Development Execution
We work alongside your team to drive execution—applying experienced engineering judgment to progress the product toward production readiness.
